BAI Communications acquires Titan ICT to boost private networks
BAI Communications has completed its acquisition of Titan ICT, a communications engineering specialist company with a focus on networks for the mining, resources, and energy sectors in Australia.
The transaction brings Titan ICT into the BAI group, advancing BAI's strategic goal to strengthen its position as a provider of telecommunications solutions. Titan ICT, with two decades of experience, is recognised in the Australian market for its work with private networks, including technologies such as LTE, Microwave, IP, and Radio networks. It also has longstanding relationships with major enterprises and blue-chip mining clients.
Expanded capabilities
The integration means both BAI and Titan ICT can broaden the range of services offered to private mobile network and operational communications customers. By combining BAI's spectrum access and experience in mission-critical network management with Titan ICT's expertise in network design and implementation, the companies intend to develop tailored solutions for a range of industries.
Bringing Titan ICT into BAI solidifies our position as a leading mission-critical network provider and increases the opportunities for new and specialised projects driven by our talented teams. Titan ICT's expertise in private LTE deployments further strengthens BAI's competitive position as we look to leverage our spectrum allocation to support and accelerate the expansion of our communications offering, including for the delivery of private network solutions.
This statement from Peter Lambourne, Chief Executive Officer of BAI Communications, highlights the intended benefits stemming from the merger, particularly in private LTE technology and private network solutions.
The acquisition is expected to merge complementary strengths in engineering, network integration, and operational management. BAI says the move will increase its capabilities in private wireless and critical communications, as well as enhance its ability to provide services nationally across a range of sectors.
Operational alignment
We share a cultural and operational alignment with BAI that will ensure our customer-centric approach remains a priority into the future. Additionally, our combined expertise in segments such as private LTE and managed services, puts us in an exciting position to scale, drive growth in our customer solutions and new development opportunities for our people.
Chris Upstone, Managing Director of Titan ICT, commented on how the two companies are aligned in their approach to customers and business operations, pointing to further opportunities for growth in services and internal development.
Titan ICT was established in 2003 and has focused on delivering mission-critical telecommunications services through engineering design, advisory, systems integration, and managed services, particularly in Australia's resources sector.
Focus on service and continuity
Our immediate focus is to combine the capabilities and talent of our companies to best serve the mission critical connectivity needs of our customers, while ensuring continuity and support for the outstanding work Titan ICT is delivering in the market.
This additional statement from Lambourne outlines the immediate priorities following the acquisition, with an emphasis on integration and ongoing customer support.
BAI Communications operates a nationwide broadcast network in Australia, supplying managed television and radio services. The group supports broadcasters, emergency services, and enterprise clients, leveraging its experience to deliver connectivity in challenging environments.
Titan ICT's integration into BAI's operations is intended to provide broader access to private wireless solutions and large-scale critical networks, particularly for sectors requiring advanced dedicated communication infrastructure such as mining and energy.
